Security intensified after encounter in Karregutta
Khammam: Security has been beefed up along the Telangana-Chhattisgarh border following a fierce encounter between Maoists and security forces in the Karregutta forests in which as many as six Maoists were reportedly killed.
Given the proximity of the encounter site to Telangana, additional forces — including Greyhounds, Special Party units and the CRPF — have been deployed to prevent Maoist infiltration.
